Nothing particular stands out, core is built like always and appears when I try the online updater. Which platform?
Iâm running version 1.20.0 from Devuan repository. I know, itâs outdated, but before updating it I checked buildbot.libretro.com/assets/cores/ and I didnât find np2kai in latest release either.
Iâm on an Archlinux based system and its still on v1.20.0⌠And both np2kai appears in my list with the RetroArch Settings > Online Updater > Core Downloader > NEC - PC-98 (Neko Project II Kai). BTW your link points to the assets, which are not the cores itself. These are additional files to download. Not all cores have assets (not sure if this core had one before). To get the cores, you can download a bundle from https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.21.0/linux/x86_64/ and ânp2kai_libretro.soâ is included.

Okay, I think I got the answer. I donât know why it was that way from the beginning, but I was literally trying to find an option, that was turned invisible. Why is that a default setting? I thought that I maybe using some alternative or outdated frontend and âContent Downloaderâ and âCore System Files Downloaderâ should include cores files that Iâm looking for.
Thank you for your time and my apologies for going off-topic.
If it was installed with your distributions package manager, then the package created by your distribution might have different default settings maybe. In example on my Archlinux based system that I use BTW, installing RetroArch from the package manager canât use the Core Downloader by default. That is because the cores are installed and managed by the package manager in a directory that requires root rights.
So the solution to use the Core Downloader there is to change the RetroArch configuration to point the cores into a user directory with the cores. And donât bother installing any core with your package manager, because now RetroArch itself is managing it with the Core Downloader.
Well, I tell you that, because you installed RetroArch through the package manager in Devuan, right? That could explain why its set to off by default. And even if you set it on, you shouldnât be able to download and save the core, unless you change the directory where you are allowed to (in my case its ~/.config/retroarch/cores). So, make sure to test this and in case it does not work, change the directory.

Youâre absolutely right.
I couldnât install any core using built-in Core Downloader, so I just downloaded np2kai.so from a third party resource and manually copied it into usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libretro. And it finally worked. Although I encountered some minor visual glitches, like missing text in menus, but itâs unrelated.
Next day I tried changing directories, and it also works. I guess itâs a more proper way to solve this. Thank you.

If it works on your machine, you could also try the RetroArchâs AppImage build. Itâs updated and comes with the core downloader.

Hey, unsure if this is the correct topic for core requests, if it is, may I request a Genesis_plus core to run the recently âreleasedâ Paprium game on the Megadrive please? Asking specifically for custom? RetroArch running on Unico MVSX machine. Thanks and nice seeing you Masters here!
here is a working version

Geeetings. Are there any plans to port pcsx2 or lrps2 to ARM devices? Although Android has a way to play PS2 with nether sx2, ARM devices that use Linux arenât.
Thanks in advance.
no, someone would have to write open-source dynarecs for it, and no one has.
